Monitor very dark on my Satellite A200

Hello.

I am the owner of a Satellite A200-130 since may, and the screen is really dark. In addition, I can't find how to access its control panel to adjust it.

I wonder:
1. If there are any windows XP drivers for my monitor, because it is currently recognized as 'plug-and-play monitor. "
2. How do I access the monitor options?

Thanks in advance.

Hello

Usually you can alter the brightness of the display on two ways: using FN + F6, F7 key combination or by using energy saving settings.

I guess you cannot use FN key combination because some people have reported that it works well on Windows XP Home edition, but you can check the settings for display brightness in Toshiba Power Saver tool.

Please test and give some feedback.

  • Shaking image on the external monitor when the Satellite A200 is running on AC

    Hello

    I have this problem that drives me crazy... I bought an external monitor for my laptop Toshiba Satellite A200-1 9 s, but the problem is that the image on the external monitor, shakes. I tried another monitor, the same, another cable, same problem; the only way to stop it is to unplug the AC of the laptop.

    I also tried to move the monitor further away from the laptop, but nothing.
    I can stop shaking so hard that if I switch to the profile AC from FULL POWER to save power... but even with this image is still shaking a little.

    So basically there is a magnetic field around here, probably in the portable, which makes my picture shaking like crazy... someone knows how to stop it?

    Hello

    Hmmm...
    I don't think it has to do something with magnetic fields.

    Cause she is related to the energy consumption of the computer, it seems that there is a problem with the AC adapter.
    If he needs to deliver all the 'juice', this is capacitors to keep absolutely stable voltage may be too low.
    These instabilities (with the frequency of 50 Hz supply) can parasitize the signal on the screen.

    A solution for this?... If you know how to solder some fat capacitors somehow between the two...

    Or:
    It is a grounding problem
    I have never heard of such problems with the LCD (VGA monitors?) monitors. Generally, this is the case when you use an analog video output,
    leading to no color on TV.
    You have an annoying hum when you connect the audio output to an amplifier? It would be a sign for it.
    I had such a problem and solved by plugging my laptop on the sector on another circuit in the House as my audio devices
    So experiment with it.
    First: unplug all the other stuff (printer, Poles, antennas, all) these are unpleasant problems with a lot of possible interference.

    Let me know!

  • Satellite Pro A200 - display very dark

    My first post on this forum-

    I have a satellite a200 pro with a very dark screen, it works fine with an external monitor.

    I replaced the drive and the full screen with elements well known with no joy

    am I missing something simple? any thoughts welcome

    > I have replaced the drive and the full screen with elements well known with no joy
    That s very strange and to be honest I can't say with certainty why these spare parts not help you solve this problem. Is the external monitor looks OK and the chip chart isn t the troublemaker. So the problem must be linked to the internal screen or FL inverter.

    I recommend you contact the service provider authorized Toshiba to get more details about these issues and get compatible parts.

  • Satellite A200 - screen is very dark

    Hi all:
    I use the Satellite A200-1DY

    My screen is broken
    the screen can see... but very very very dark.

    When I start the toshiba splash screen appears, but this one (in 1 sec) disappears and the screen is dark.

    I tried with another screen and it works.

    What can I do?

    Thank you

    Hello

    It looks like FL inverter problem.
    The FL Inverter control the backlight of the screen and if this tiny part does not work, the display looks like Misty.
    It seems that the Toshiba technician would need to replace this part.

  • Satellite Pro M10: image on the screen is very dark

    I have a portable Satellite Pro M10, which has a black screen, i.e. the backlight does not work. There is an image on the screen, but it is very dark. When you connect an external monitor, I get a normal picture on this screen.

    Information from other messages here, I conclude that there is a problem with the backlight of the lcd screen or the inverter. I checked all connections, but it does not solve the problem. If I bring the laptop to a service center how much it will cost about for repair? The thing is 2-3 years, so if it is very expensive I could better get a new laptop.

    I'm sure I'll be able to change the inverter Board myself, but how am I going to be able to determine that the inverter is the problem? How to get a new inverter? Is anyone of you know the number of good product?

    My Pro M10 itself has PS630E-G205Z-OF product number.

    Hello

    I agree with Tobi. You sounds description as a faulty FL inverter.
    This part is placed behind the LCD screen under the lid.
    As mentioned this part isn t very expensive and you could order the partner of Toshiba service in your country. But be aware that if you have no experience of replacement if you ask technicians for assistance.

  • Satellite A200 - 1 M 8: the monitor shuts off and cannot back up to Vista

    Hello

    I have the Satellite A200 - 1 M 8 with original Vista. Sometimes, I have some problems with the display (I have the latest drivers).
    The monitor turns off (not as usual but it is gray instead of black) applications flow normally (I hear the music of film, this) but I can't get back into windows.

    When I push button hibernation and I try to go back to windows, I see the blue screen then the computer resets.

    It happens very often and is really frustrating because my internet disconnects and downloads.

    I don't think that the temperature is too high because I think it's cool. How to fix this?
    Maybe some graphics settings or new BIOS?

    Please help me. I can't stand it!

  • Satellite P200 screen is eventually died - now very dark

    Hello

    My laptop screen (Satellite P200) is eventually died.
    He had been much flicker when opening the laptop but settle.

    The screen is very dark and you can see just the windows etc. I can't connect a second monitor and run from that.

    -Is the screen, backlight went?
    -I'm out of warranty, how long does it take for an extended warranty through? The site has offered me one for relief.

    Any information would be great.
    Thank you
    Simon.

    Hello

    First you will not get an extended warranty, if you haven't bought it.
    If you warranty is no longer valid, then you will have to pay for the repair.

    Now a few words about your question;
    I think that your FL inverter is dead. The problem described in job ads seems to be a fault of inverter FL. This small part controls the backlight of the screen and causes this problem.

    I recommend contacting the technician of laptop (certified partner) and I will ask the Fl inverter assessment and if necessary I would work out a replacement.

    Good bye

  • Satellite A200-1BJ - no display on external monitor

    Hello

    I have a display problem with my laptop, which is:

    When I connect my computer to an external display (projector - data show - using the rgb or s-video cable), the contents of my computer are not displayed.
    I used F5, Catalyst Control Center, but without success.
    When I connect it with a TV using s-video, I get the message "no signal".
    I think of the existence of the other devices, but the content is not sent to the external display.

    I don't know what the problem is. I need to use my computer and the screen using a projector for my presentations, which is very common.
    The problem is that he used to work, then suddenly it stopped display on external displays.
    I could not understand the problem, then I thought that the settings have been changed accidentally.
    So I formatted my computer back to the factory setting, but my attempt failed and it still does not display on the external monitor.

    My computer specs:
    -Toshiba Satellite A200-1BJ
    -Processor: Intel Core2 Duo
    -OS: Windows Vista editions Home Premium
    -Graphics card: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600

    Does anyone know the solution?

    Thanks in advance.

    In your case I would update the BIOS and the display driver. The two you can find on the Toshiba site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    Have you tried different cables? Maybe it s faulty or too long.

    Also, be sure to use a rate of resolution and refresh supported for the external monitor display. You can change that in Catalyst Control Center.

  • The camera of my C850D-115 Satellite is very dark

  • Satellite Pro L300 - 29 c very dark display

    Hello

    The display on my Satellite Pro L300 - 29 c is very, very dark. It's dark, both during POST / in the BIOS and configuration once Windows loads. The brightness of the screen (Fn + F7) is set to the maximum. If I plug in an external display, which works perfectly. I can say that this model is not a physical wheel or something similar that controls the brightness of the screen.

    Should I have a hardware failure? Is this something fixable by the user?

    Thanks in advance.

    I can't say for sure, but I think FL inverter is faulty (backlight) and it should be replaced.
    The FL Inverter control the backlight. It is important that FL Inverter are not too expensive part.
    I take in a Toshiba certified maintainer and ask for help.

  • Satellite Pro L20 with a screen very very dark!

    Help me!

    I have a L20 Pro Sam last week and it worked very well. Now when I turn on the screen is very very dark. About, I can do on the Windows logo when it loads, but I can't seem to make it bright again. When I plug in an external monitor it doesn't have this effect on the external monitor - some help please!

    Hello

    I agree with Tom, I would also say that there is something wrong with the Fl inverter or with the tube FL. well, is the only way to solve the problem is to replace the broken parts. In this case, you will need to contact Toshiba service in your country.

  • Problem of backlight Satellite Pro L10 - the screen is very dark

    Hello

    I've got a L10 Pro of the Satellite with a backlight problem - the screen is very dark.
    How can I confirm if it is the backlight themselves who have failed or the backlight inverter Board?

    Also, can someone point me in the right direction for a copy of the workshop manual?

    Thank you very much!

    Hello

    As you have said that this problem could be linked to the failure of inverter FL and in most cases, the FL inverter needs to be replaced.
    It's a little bit complicated and it s not desirable to try to replace it to your own hand as this may damage the screen of laptop computers.
    This is why I would really recommend contacting a Toshiba ASP because of two important reasons:
    First reason is that you can order the ASP compatible FL inverter and the second reason is that an ASP could provide help how to replace this part.

    If you want to know where and how he placed s then you can visit this page:
    http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/Toshiba-Satellite-A105/remove-replace-LCD-screen-1.htm

    Of course, this page shows only the wow of instruction to remove and replace the Satellite A105 FL inverter, but the procedure is not very different from the Sat L10.

    But like I said above; If you have no experience don t do anything, which could damage the laptop!

  • Satellite A200-1AX: Win7 has very limited screen resolution

    ?:| Can someone help me please?

    I have a SCREEN RESOLUTION (1280 x 800) after that I went to w7, before I can get about 1600 x 1280 when I was in very limited vista. I lost my vista recovery disk so I decided to go with w7, but after that I did some installations/updates to update for all my drivers again my screen resolution gives me the size 1280 x 800 maximum.
    Anyone? Please? I need your suggestions...

    -J' have a Satellite A200 1AX (recently moved from vista to w7)
    -Screen: 15.4 "
    -My graphics card is ATI Mobility Radeon HD2600.
    -I just downloaded the latest driver from ATI.

    Please tell me what I'll do.
    Thanks in advance guys...: D
    Jeje

    > Until I can get around 1600 x 1280 when I was in vista
    I can't believe that why?
    Because the screen internal 15.4 "WIDE XGA supports a maximum resolution of 1280 x 800.
    Max which is possible on the internal display, and as a result, you will not be able to choose a higher resolution on the internal display.

    The resolution of the external display may be higher but not the resolution of the screen internal.

    You can disable the option in the power options of Vista to prevent mode standby when the lid is closed.

    > I got my self and Acer monitor 20 inch and after a few minutes of use resets the monitor (becomes black and goes up to 1280 x 800).
    However, reading this post I'm not sure if your external monitor goes black or the A200 display internal.
    Is what screen affected?

    Did you try a BIOS and update the display driver?
